Viva Maria! (1965)
7/10
Revolution a magic word to French people !!!
4 June 2019
None people in the world look likes Revolution than French people, this was a vehicle to Brigitte Bardot and Jeanne Moreau and directed by Louis Malle, the picture was a kind of satirical comedy over the Latin America in a fictitious country, Bardot and Moreau has on early scenes a kind of itinerant show as French striptease, a bit behaved, until they see how the poor people suffering by the great rich farmers whose control all country, supporting an unpopular government ruled by a bloody Dictator, also supported by catholic Church using old methods at Spanish' inquisition, a black comedy, criticizing the Latin American's dictatorship that were scattered on every country at it's time and worst sustained by a tamed church, the picture seems at first look silly, wasn't at all, many hidden messages was introduce to the audience by Louis Malle was insightful on social criticism without notice by authorities !!
